Add your thoughts using the KWL approach. Thinking about Game Mechanics, Games-Based Learning or gamification.....
K = What do you know?
I know that online gaming is very popular, particularly with boys.
W = What do you want to learn?
I want to learn how to apply gaming situations for teaching health for Junior School students.
L = What have you learned? (we'll do this last one later)
I have learnt about some great new resources to try with my students. I am very excited to try out SimCityEDU with my class.

I have really enjoyed the course and I am looking forward to seeing how I can incorporate the gaming elements into my lessons. I am interested in trying to make SimCityEdu apart of my program for next year. My Year 6 class are finishing up their unit on sustainability and I feel that SimCityEdu will tie in nicely with what I am trying to achieve from the unit. I feel the Game Based Learning could also work very well with the Road Safety unit.
